Performance Analysis of MIMO Enabled Broadband Wireless Access System for Mobile Multimedia Applications

Abstract

This paper presents performance comparisons between different multi antenna configurations of broadband wireless access systems based on IEEE 802.16e (amendment of 802.16-2004 standard for combined fixed and mobile broadband wireless access operation in licensed band), specifically on the 2048 points orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) physical specification. The system is extensively simulated for different channel conditions and for different user parameters. Results of the experimental studies are then summarized
